Welcome to FRESH
The seminar series was aimed at broadening and deepening discussion about the idea of 'ecosystem services' as this relates to issues of human well-being on the sustainable management of landscapes. It explored the possibilities and limits of using an 'ecosystem services' perspective for developing integrated approaches to environmental and economic accounting.
The Centre for Environmental Management, in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham and the Centre for Rural Policy Research, University of Exeter together with ORMI, were coordinating this ESRC/NERC trans-disciplinary seminar series, on ecosystem services and human well being. The purpose of the series was to take a critical but constructive look at current research agendas and the decision making frameworks.
The seminar series, which consisted of six events, took place between October 2007 and September 2009.
The events were held in Nottingham, York, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Liverpool, and London. The meetings brought together a range of people including natural and social scientists, policymakers and NGOs, from across the UK and Europe.
